Looks decent.
NFA
Why do you so conviently never mention the cost to taxpayers who subsidize these “unaffordable “units for people who make over $100,000 at 130% AMI ?
You comment on every single thing post but never talk about this?
Because this is not an affordable housing advocacy website?
Because I admittedly care more about the quality of the built environment than I do about the anti-market politics of “affordable housing”?
Do you realize that the city was built by developers with a market driven profit motive?
I don’t care for the percentage based set-aside method of creating affordable housing.

How convenient for you to totally ignore this glaring inequity.
If this is not an affordable housing advocacy website as you state ,then why does NYYIMBY include
Affordable Housing Lottery Launches in almost every other post ?
your comment” I don’t care for the percentage based set-aside method of creating affordable housing” makes absolutely zero sense!
My whole point is these aren’t affordable housing units. They are unaffordable housing units at 130% AMI under 421A which allows the millionaire developers to get subsidized by NYS taxpayers like you and me
You are mistaken.
NFA How am I mistaken exactly?
LMK?
You forgot to carry the three.
the new building to its left does as well.
These types of buildings look a lot better without a parking garage breaking up the streetwall
Yeah, NFA, I agree. The city can definitely use a lot more infill housing like this that is new. Case in point, the building to the right (which has beautiful lines) which is slanted due to some settlement issues.
What’s with the discolored grout patches?
Probably where the scaffolding ties were attached to the structure.
